Even if there are discrepancies in how some cases are handled this wouldn't exactly be the case to point to. I can't see a serial abuser of 6 year olds getting away with community service if they were female.

But yeah this guy isn't lasting long in jail. With the history of his abuse I'd have to wonder what, if any, major mental illness was he suffering from that got him to that point.

I would not want to be a male teacher in California right now. Actually, being a man I want nothing to do with children ever. Not in this society.

It's entirely possible that there have been other victims in the past that for whatever reason never reported the sexual abuse. It's also entirely possible that there have sexual abuse reports in the past that have been covered up by the school district.

I think it said 4th grade, so I think that is 9 or 10 year olds. So he did nothing wrong.

FTA:District officials immediately removed him from campus and parents and state credentialing authorities were informed, school district spokesman Daryl Strickland said. Parents and guardians will be told of the arrest by letter and phone, he also said "That guy was nothing but a slacker."

These were my first two thoughts as well.

First it was, "Wait, he's been a teacher since 1974, and then in 2011 he morphs into a child molester?"

That is exactly what went through my mind as well. What's the burden of proof on "inappropriate touching" is a million dollar payday as simple as remembering something that never happened?

The system is farked. If you're a pretty young female teacher, you get probation, a slap on the wrist, fired - life goes on (and we all snicker and think "lucky kid"). This man is doomed. Guilty or not is irrelevant. Good thing he's retired - at least he won't have to worry about finding employment. I can never understand why a man would want to work around young girls. They are just asking for trouble. At our elementary school, we have two male teachers. They are not allowed to be alone with less than three students at any time. They can't take them on bathroom breaks. They have one bathroom for their use that is reserved exclusively for them. Effective this year, they are not allowed to pass out Valentine's during the class parties (the female teachers have no restrictions). It was decided it may appear inappropriate or some such b.s. I used to volunteer at the school, but quit after 3 years because of the insane restrictions put on me while on school property. The final straw was that I was told I couldn't hug my own daughter while working in the library. Fark 'em.

40 years in a public sector job! The district made up the charges to get out of paying his pension.

I have to agree, something doesn't smell right about this. If more accusations from former students began coming in, then I'll reconsider. This sounds like a witch hunt by a group of students/parents looking for a payday
